Description
PAN-Biotech offers special types of serum: charcoal absorbed, delipidized, dialyzed, gamma irradiated, heat inactivated and gamma globulin reduced.
Heat inactivated serum
Serum is heated for 30 min to 56 °C in a water bath under repeated gentle mixing.
Application
• Measurements of lactate dehydrogenase in the culture supernatant as a marker for cell damage (serum LDH is inactivated by heat)
• Minimizes lot-to-lot variations in serum (all thermolabile components are removed)
• Studies on vitamins and growth factors
• Enhance viral safety, since heat-labile viruses are inactivated
• Tests that do not tolerate presence of complement (complement destruction).
